HAT AND COAT HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. '1, 191W.

Application filed February 18, 1915. Serial No. 9,199.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MAROEL HENTNIK, a citizenof the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukeeand State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement inPortable Hat and Coat Hangers, of which the following is a full andcomplete specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hangers andmore particularly to a combined hat and coat hanger and the primaryobject of the invention is to provide a portable device which may bequickly and readily applied to use when desired.

A further object resides in providing an improved means for detachingthe hat hanger from the coat hanger, and a still fur ther object residesin providing an improved means for securing the device to a mold on thewall.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists in the novelfeatures of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as willbe hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in thespecification and claim.

In the accompanying drawing forming a' part of this application Figure 1is a side elevation of a device constructed in accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section therethrough as seen on the line AA of Fig.1, looking in the direction of the arrows;

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a slightly modified form of the invention;

Fig. 4 is a vertical section therethrough as seen on the line BB of Fig.3, looking-in the direction of the arrows; I

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a further modification Fig. 6 is avertical section therethrough as seen on the line c-c of Fig. 5, lookingin the direction of the arrows; and

Fig. 7 is a section as seen on the line D-D of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawing in which similar reference characters designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views and in which 1designates a wall board to the upper end of which is secured by means ofscrews 3, a molding hook 2 and slidably mounted on the guide pin 4within said board are the guides 5 of a movably clamping jaw 6. A guideplate 6 is provided on said. movable jaw and secured thereto andextending through a reinforcing plate 7 which is secured to the board 1by means of screws 25 is an eye-bolt 8. A red 9 is hooked in engagementwith the eye-bolt 8 and is guided through a bracket 10 which is alsosecured to the board 1 by means of the screw 12. A compression spring 13encircles the pin 4 and normally holds the clamping jaw 6 in its closedor retracted position.

A guide plate 14 is secured to the lower portion of the board 1 and isprovided with guide ways 14 in which is slidably mounted the hangerbracket 16. A rotatable knuckle pin 17 is mounted in said bracket and acoat hanger arm 18 is pivotally engaged with the upper end thereofthrough the medium of a bearing pin 19 which forms a knuckle joint 20.Secured to the arm 18 are coat hooks 21 and a hat hanger 22 isdetachably mounted on the arm 18, the same having a plurality of hathanger arms 23, which are provided at their outer ends with protectiveknobs 24.

In Figs. 3 and 4 I have shown a slightly modified form of the inventionwherein a wall plate 26 is provided having suitable guide-ways 28 inwhich is slidably mounted a hanger bracket 29. An arm 30 is pivoted on apin 32 at the upper end of the hanger bracket 29, such pivotal pointbeing designated as a joint Suitable hooks are engaged with the arm 31,whereby to support the garments.

In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown a further modification in which the anglebrackets 36 are secured to the under side of a shelf or the llke bymeans of screws 37, and movably mounted in said brackets is a hanger arm38 which carries a plurality of coat hooks 39.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided asimple, inexpensive and eflicient means for carrying out the objects ofthe invention and while I have particularly described the elements bestadapted to perform the functions set forth, it is obvious that variouschanges in the form, proportion and minor details of construction, maybe resorted to, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe principles of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

In a device of the class described, the COD;- bination With a Wall boardand means to secure the same to an object; of a plate removably securedto the lower end of the board and provided with vertical guid'eweys,

a hanger. bracket slidably mounted Within said guideways and providedwith upper and lower prO ectmg portions, e knuckle pin rotatablysupported in sald pro]ect1ng portions, a. hanger arm pivoted to theyupper end of said knuckle pin and hangers and supports carried by saidhanger arms.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my 15 hand in the presenceof the twosubscribing Witnesses.
